U. S. Space and Rocket Center

Huntsville has been nicknamed “Rocket City’” for its long history with NASA and the U.S. Space program. In 1950, the U.S. military brought German rocket scientists to Huntsville to work on the beginnings of the space program. In 1960, President Eisenhower formally dedicated the Marshall Space Flight Center and in 1970 the U.S. Space and Rocket center was opened as a museum of the program’s impressive hardware. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center allows visitors to explore the past, present, and future of space.

The center is filled with hands-on activities like a Mars climbing wall and a G-force simulator to compliment an impressive array of rockets, shuttles and space capsules. This museum is well known for showcasing rockets, achievements, and artifacts of the U.S. space program. The facility is also home to the United States Space Camp and Aviation Challenge. Sometimes billed as "Earth's largest space museum", astronaut Owen Garriott described the place as, "a great way to learn about space in a town that has embraced the space program from the very beginning.".

It houses interactive science exhibits, more than 1,500 permanent rocketry, and space exploration artifacts, as well as much rotating rocketry and space-related exhibits. The center is located on Interstate 565 at exit 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.

The U.S. Space Camp is located on the grounds of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center. The camp provides residential and day camp educational programs for children in various age groups and adults. These programs include space oriented camp programs, aircraft themed Aviation Challenge camps and outdoor oriented X-Camp programs.
